Delft Blue Pottery | The Jingdezhen of Europe

There is also a beautiful garden at the Royal Delft Blue Pottery Factory. After admiring the beautiful artworks, head to the small café next to the garden, play with the blue pottery souvenir you just bought, bask in the sun, and daydream, enjoying a pleasant afternoon. I've always been curious about the 'Jingdezhen of Europe' with its long history, so I took my child on a small (2 to Delft, the hometown of 'Dutch Blue and White Porcelain'. 🚗Transport: It takes 1 hour by train from Amsterdam Central Station. It's even more convenient from Rotterdam or The Hague, and it's recommended to visit Delft when touring these two cities. You haven't really visited Delft if you haven't been to this museum! It's not that the exhibits are very comprehensive (many more historically valuable ceramics are displayed in other national museums), but as the only remaining ceramic factory in the city that has continued from the 17th century to the present, it can still give you a glimpse into the glorious era of the Dutch ceramic industry. The most worthwhile thing to see in this museum is its ceramic production line that is still in use today, from mold making to painting, where you can see how a real ceramic factory operates.

Delft, the Netherlands, is famous for producing blue pottery. They improved the blue-and-white porcelain from China and formed a unique Delft blue pottery, which was highly sought after by the royal family and nobles. The Royal Delft Blue Pottery Factory was founded in 1653. It is the only blue pottery factory that survived in the 17th century. It still uses traditional manual methods to make pottery, so every piece of handmade blue made here. Pottery is unique. Figure 1-3
